DC Tom Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 thanks. amazed that stocks haven't got creamed the last 2 days. something smells bad for this perma rally. That bad a number means the Fed will maintain their current monetary policies, which the stock markets love. The markets will get crushed when the economy improves.

keepthefaith Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It sucks but I think we have to wait for Q2 numbers to see where we are at YTD. Q2 could be a big positive and could cancel the poor Q1 numbers. Of course we then have to wait for the Q2 revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That bad a number means the Fed will maintain their current monetary policies, which the stock markets love. when the economy improves.

Tiberius Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Markets absolutely will correct. They always do. Ya, so? You know for certain that an improving economy will crush the market? I understand raising interest rates will make bonds more attractive and all but a growing economy, higher profits can lead investors into the market as well. A correction can happen for many reasons, or just because of the madness of the crowd, but no one knows exactly when or why a correction will occurred. Do you think stocks are over valued right now?

B-Man Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Disappearing: AP Knocks Down Expected Second-Quarter Growth to an Annualized 2.5 Percent Slowly but surely, the confident assurances of a fantabulous second quarter for the U.S. economy — one which is supposed to make the serious first-quarter contraction reported on Wednesday a distant memory — are crumbling. Yesterday at the Associated Press, Martin Crutsinger, who just a couple of weeks ago had been relaying confident second-quarter predictions of annualized 3.5 percent and even 4 percent growth, quoted a still-optimistic economist who, in Crutsinger's words, "said strength in other areas (besides yesterday's weak consumer spending report — Ed.) should still lift economic growth to around a 3 percent annual rate in the current quarter." Today, in covering the University of Michigan's consumer confidence report, Christopher Rugaber, Crutsinger's dynamic duo buddy at the AP, brought the growth figure down to a level which won't even offset the dreadful first quarter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 When there is recovery for a quarter, the left cheers. When there isn't recovery for a quarter, the right cheers. It's nice that half of the country is happy regardless of what happens (The above will be reversed if a Republican wins the next Presidency) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that half of the country is happy regardless of what happens (The above will be reversed if a Republican wins the next Presidency) You've left out independents, moderates, and libertarians. You've also failed to observe that no one cheers a shrinking economy; those individuals are far more likely to simply be saying: "We told you this **** wouldn't work, and we were right. Admit that you were wrong, and stop doing it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinga Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Those that look to the stock market as a good sign for the economy, like gator bait, are typical dog washers of the administration, or just plain stupid.... Maybe both???? The Fed has pumped over 3 times the normal currency into the system through QE. That money, is given to banks at ridiculously low rates in the hope the banks loan the money, and people spend it, "stimulating" the economy.... But as we can all agree, the banks in fact, aren't lending money, and more important, people are to afraid to borrow anyway, unsure of the future. SO then, what do the banks do with all that money the Fed dumps on them??? Sit on it and take a loss on the interest??? Or invest it??? This action by the Fed, has created a fake stimulus, born of the propping up of the stock market by the banks investing. IF, and that's a big IF, the economy really does turn around, and the people actually start investing, this is what could cause the hyper inflation so often mentioned. Too many dollars (see QE) chasing too few goods, unless but some miracle, the Fed can pull all that extra cash back overnight. It's a fake economy folks, built on a fiat currency, managed by a bank, to help other banks... Edited June 29, 2014 by Cinga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There's always a bull marketing going on somewhere. In the case of the QE-fueled US stock market it's a bull shite market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
